1) kinda agree. Maybe just during regular season, more replays in playoffs.

 

The umps are terrible. Replay is definitely needed. Maybe adjust replay a bit but the Umps are so ridiculously wrong often & replay has proven that.

 

Plus it does not significantly slow a game down.

I do agree with the 'challenge right away or don't' sentiment. It's a bit absurd to me that they let teams delay the game to look at replays to decide whether to ask umpires to look at replays. If that team is pitching there's not a ton that can be done, although a pitch clock would help with that.

Their website won’t let you copy text from it, but basically Mozeliak says they don’t do rebuilds because they’re the Cardinals and the Cardinals don’t rebuilds.

 

This also seems like something that could be taken multiple ways:

 

“Well, I guess an easier way to say it is if you look at our model, with our fan support, trying to be irrelevant for a couple years just doesn’t seem smart. It’s not even something we’ve been internally debating.”

That is so true. They’re above everything. Their horsefeathers don’t stink.

Cards just traded Sam Tuivailala to the Mariners for Minor Leaguers. But they're not sellers doing a rebuild...

They also DFA’d Tyler Lyons and sent Brett Cecil to the DL.

 

This is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Cards still owe Cecil $15M the next two years.

I will admit to having wanted the Cubs to sign Cecil when was a free agent. (But not for as much money as the Cards gave him.)

"He has 3 WAR in this, his rookie year at age 24, so he might have a bit to go to be an 11 WAR 21 year old modern day Mickey Mantle. I mean they both hit the ball, they both play defense, and they both run from one base to the next from time to time. If you REALLY SQUINT, Bader and Trout are pretty much the same guy."
